Thanks for all the comments. I really didn't expect this one to get as much attention as it has received. What can I say, Yellowstone is really one of the few places on earth that was made to be captured with Velvia :). This shot was taken about six years ago, and I have since grown to favor Provia and Astia over Velvia for most of my color photography. But I feel I have to use Velvia here, I mean it actually does a great job with the colors. People that have been to Yellowstone will agree when I say that these colors are not actually punched up, the colors are really that vibrant. I can't wait to go back and shoot these same scenes with the large format camera and some Velvia 50. For those that have not been to Yellowstone & the Grand Tetons, I highly recommend that you plan a trip. Give yourself as much time as you can, 2-3 weeks, and you will have barely scratched the surface. Pack some Velvia and Provia with you, as you'll be glad you did. Stay long enough and you might fall in love with the place.
